Live Ventures Incorporated (LIVE) Investigation:
The investigation focuses on the propriety of Live Ventures' reported financial performance, promotional activities, insider sales and executive compensation.
On Aug. 3, 2021, the SEC charged Live Ventures, its CEO, its CFO, an LLC controlled by the CEO, and another Nevada-based public company with securities fraud. The SEC's complaint alleges that Live Ventures and its CEO, Jon Isaac, recorded income from a backdated contract to boost Live Ventures' pre-tax income for fiscal year 2016 by 20%. Live Ventures and Isaac also allegedly overstated earnings per share by 40% by improperly understating Live Ventures' outstanding share count. In addition, the SEC claims Isaac hired a stock promoter to boost interest in Live Ventures.
The financial manipulation and stock promotion scheme caused Live Ventures' share price to spike. Isaac then profited by secretly selling Live Ventures shares to a controlled company.
Finally, the SEC contends Live Ventures misrepresented the date it acquired a subsidiary from Appliance Recycling Centers of America to report positive net income, and that the company materially underreported Isaac's compensation.
This news sent the price of Live Ventures shares crashing lower.
"We're focused on investors' losses and whether Live Ventures and senior management cooked the company's books," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
